The 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

All of the following items are things that you use at home and at school. Using the chart below, sort these items by how you might keep them from ending up in the trash. As you list each item, write down what you could do with it. Think of creative ways to reuse things. It’s okay to list items in more than one category. Items: cereal box, paper towel roll, juice pak with straw, toothpaste tube, toothbrush, glass jar, plastic comb, styrofoam egg carton, empty can, old binder.
